Excerpt:
But then there was a crash from upstairs, like someone had dropped something hard on the wooden floor. But then thudding footsteps thundered down the stairs and I saw Shayla burst out the back door, not bothering to open it and wrenching it off the hinges. I ran after her to the dining room window, where I had a clear view of the yard. My family followed me.
"No!" Edward suddenly roared as he turned and ran out the busted door. He thundered after her just as the injured man stumbled into the yard, a bloody bandage wrapped around his bare upper arm and shoulder.
Even without Alice's gift, I could see that Shayla couldn't be stopped. I saw the fear flash in the man's eyes as Shayla pelted towards him. Her eyes were clouded, filled with nothing but bloodlust. She did not resemble the sweet, independent, somewhat emotionally-fragile daughter that we knew anymore. Her vampire instincts ruled her.
